Where to buy Ombelle infusions, and on what terms
By the LBDT Sommelier · published on · 4 min read
Reviewed and approved by the La Boutique du Thé team
Ombelle is La Boutique du Thé's infusion brand: its organic herbal infusions, fruit infusions and matés are sold in our two shops, in Bordeaux and Nice, and on this website, nowhere else. All loose leaf is weighed and packed to order, from the 15 g sample to 1 kg, with free in-store collection within 2 hours or delivery to a pick-up point from €4.50, free from €50 in mainland France.
A brand you will only find here
Ombelle was created by La Boutique du Thé, an independent house founded in Bordeaux in 1999, together with one of Europe's most renowned specialists in herbal infusions and spices. It took two years to design the brand and develop its products, blend by blend, before the range was launched in 2026. It is not sold in supermarkets, nor by other shops, nor on other websites: what you find here, in the Infusions section, is the entire range.
Every product carries the European organic farming label, shown on its product page and on its bag, with the full ingredients listed in descending order of weight and the allergens. The origin of each ingredient is located on our world map of terroirs.
What you will find on this site
- Herbal infusions, mostly for the evening: verbena, lemon balm, lime blossom, chamomile, fennel, mint, and the composed herbal blends. Our comparison of evening herbal infusions ranks them by plant.
- Fruit infusions, hot or iced: red berries, citrus, exotic fruits, apple and cinnamon.
- Matés, plain or blended, the brand's only family containing caffeine.
- Single plants as loose leaf: verbena, lemon balm, chamomile, mint, lemongrass, hibiscus, fennel, ginger.
- Seasonal editions: Christmas and winter infusions from November, carafe infusions in summer.
Packed to order, from 15 g to 1 kg
Nothing is pre-packed: when you order, our teams weigh the quantity requested and bag it, in bags designed to preserve the flavour. Formats range from the 15 g sample, sold by weight, to the kilo. On loose leaf, the quantity discount applies automatically: 5% from 500 g and 10% from 1 kg of the same blend.
The house loyalty programme applies in our shops and online alike: every euro spent earns one point, and 200 points give 15% off your next order. The two can be combined.

Try before buying 100 g
There is no tasting in our shops, but every Ombelle product is available as a 15 g sample, sold by weight like the rest of our loose leaf: enough to prepare five or six cups at home. This is the way we recommend to compare two infusions from the same family, or to put together a first discovery selection.
